Lorient: Team information, current form, absent
Lorient finished 2020 in 18th place – the one leading in Ligue 2. The team is tied on points with Dijon & Nimes and we can talk about the most modest teams in the first French echelon. The last victory of today’s hosts took place in mid-December. The 13th was lucky for “hake”, managing to pass Nimes on the score of no show. With PSG and Rennes, however, the team had no chances, losing 0-2 and 0-3, respectively. Before Christmas, Lorient recorded a draw for Nice, 2-2.
- ABSENT: Fontaine, Hamel, Lemoine, Mendes, Saunier (medical problems)
Monaco: Team info, current form, absent
AS Monaco have 4 consecutive victories with Lorient, no goal conceded. It is a first advantage with which the Monegasques leave tonight. In the last 2 rounds of 2020, the guests registered 4 points. The team defeated Dijon away at the limit (score 1-0), and then ended in a draw at home, 2-2 with St. Etienne. There were 2 positive results that stopped the series of 3 consecutive defeats for Monegasques. At the moment, the guests are in 6th place in the ranking, the first below the European line. The team can currently think about even the title, the distance from the Lyon leader being 9 points.
- ABSENT: Lecomte, Fabregas (medical problems), Matazo (suspended)
Lorient vs Monaco Picks
Ben Yedder and Volland are the main arguments for Monaco today. The two make a couple of lethal strikers, and a modest team like Lorient is impossible without problems.
Our Prediction: Monaco wins at least one half
Odds: 1.50
